The MGID Ads Dashboard Settings

Start by creating events and Postback URLs in the MGID dashboard.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a new advertising campaign or edit an existing one by clicking on its respective icon in the dashboard.

2. Navigate to the Conversion tracking section and select the Postback option in the Tracking settings tab.

3. Add a new conversion goal and create a unique name for the goal. You can select an existing goal here as well.

This field accepts only Latin letters and numbers; when filled in, it is automatically assigned as the "e" parameter.

Here, you can also indicate the conversion cost (optional).

Binom accepts only 3 types of conversion goal’s names: 

• lead
• reject
• sale

Repeat these steps (i.e., add another goal) if you want to track more than one conversion goal. The system allows for tracking up to three conversion goals.

4. You can track unique and non-unique conversions using Postback.

Find the conversion counting button under the advanced settings dropdown. By default, it’s set up to track only unique conversions. 

However, some funnels require counting multiple conversions with the same click ID. An example of this is a standard funnel with a "purchase" conversion and an upsell action after the first purchase. In this case, counting non-unique conversions feature will be useful for accurate tracking. 

The conversion counting setting is available separately for each of the three conversion goals.

5. Choose the Binom template from the drop-down list.

The preconfigured template includes all mandatory data, including conversion steps and event names. It will automatically add a GET parameter for {click_id} macro to the tracking link,  real {click_id} and {revenue} macros to the postback URL.

Additionally, you can also set up the following fields to meet your specific needs:

• Add additional macro by clicking the plus button;
• Add any additional parameters to your tracking link. Custom tags will be included alongside system-defined macros when your campaigns go live;
• Add UTM tags to the link. 

Check the Tracking link preview field to see how the appended part of your tracking link will look with all macros and tags included.

6.  Scroll down to the Postback URLs section. Next to the goal name, click Get Postback URL and then copy the URL. Save the link on your device, as you will need it later.

 

7.  Save changes if editing, or publish the campaign if creating a new one.

Binom Dashboard Settings

1. Add an affiliate network

Follow these steps:

• Navigate to the "Aff. Networks" section 
• Click the Create button on the left side of the page. You can select an affiliate network from the catalog or add it manually
• Click the Save button.

2. Add a traffic source.

Follow these steps:

• Navigate to the “Traffic Sources” section

• Click "Load from template” ( if you want to load a traffic source from a template or enter the name manually. In our case, the source name is MGID).
• Add the Postback URL you configured on MGID Dashboard earlier with some edits:
  
  https://a.mgid.com/postback/client_ID?c={externalid}&e=lead123456&r={payout} 

Where:

➡️ client_ID is a unique parameter for our system that will be transferred to our system alongside the event's status. 
➡️  c - click ID’s macro, for Binom, replace the {click_id} with the {externalid} macro.
➡️ e=lead123456 -  a Postback goal identifier that can be displayed in the form of a {cnv_status} macro or status name.
➡️ r -  is an optional parameter to which conversion revenue can be transferred. For Binom, replace the {revenue} with the {payout} macro.

• Tick the “Use tokens” box if you use tokens. They are needed to transfer the information from the source to the tracker. Add the required tokens and click the Save button to save the source.

3. Adding an offer 

Follow these steps:

• Copy the offer URL from the affiliate network
• Navigate to the "Offers" section
• Click the Create button
• Fill in the name of the offer
• Paste the offer URL, and add the {clickid} token after the &s2 = parameter. As a result, the link will resemble the following: https://mysite.com/?a=12345&c=6789&s2={clickid}.
• Select the country, group, and affiliate network
• Also, you can insert the Postback URL from the affiliate network 
• Set the conversion cost for the offer. You can use the Auto option to automatically transfer the cost to the Postback URL. Read more about this feature in this article.

Then, click on the “Offer” option. Similar to choosing a landing page, a window will appear. Click on your offer, and it will be added to the page.

You can find information about each of your conversions (lead) in the "Conversions" section in the Binom tracker.
